created a few plex containers testing different settings and learning about linux/nfs in general. I believe your guide is the first to recommend PUID/GUID 1000, where as others recommend adding PUID/GUID’s for the accounts they’re associating with the install.

Maybe I’m reading too much into it, or just not fully understanding. Is there a reason you didn’t create an additional account?

Perhaps, by using 1001 I’m making it more difficult on myself. Either way, still learning. Thanks for the guide :)….I think it’s gonna help me get 1 step closer to storing all container data on NFS, even configs.

So I followed your guide, and used -v ~/plex-data:/data/movies … Now I can’t seem to find the movies folder on the host machine. How am I supposed to add media to it?

In reply to Lars Evald Andersen. Thanks Lars, although I use remote play (very often) without issue, so that's odd it was not working for you.
